<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE> Sheek Family</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR="#EBC79E"><H3><IMG SRC="coff.gif"> Sheek Family of Davie County</H3><P> <HR> <H4>First Generation</H4> <B>Christian (Schick) Sheek (? - c. 1797) was born in Germany and immigrated to America on the ship <I>Beulah</I>, arriving in Philadelphia, PA Sept. 10, 1753. He settled in Berks Co, PA in the Richmond Township. Tax lists and militia muster rolls show Christian owned properties in Berks Co. and Northampton Co., PA.<P> Christian Schick and Rosina (?-aft. 1824) [surname unknown] were the parents of eight known children. Christian and his family moved to NC in the 1770's, following the Heidelberg Settlement from PA. Christian's name is among those listed on some of the orginial minutes of the Heidelberg Evangelical Lutheran Church, founded on Dutchman's Creek in Davie Co., NC. Christian was listed in the 1778 Rowan Co. tax lists in Capt. Berger's District as Christian Shiek. Land grants show Christian was a property owner in 1784 in the Smith Grove area near the cemetery of Heidelberg Lutheran Church of which he and Rosina were members. Neither Christian or Rosina's burial site are known but speculation is they are in TN/KY near their children's homes. <P> Of their children, Christian Sheek, Jr. stayed in PA and is buried in Northampton Co, PA; George Sheek settled in Indiana; Maria Sheek Bridgefarmer and Catherine Sheek Turner settled in Wayne Co, KY; David Sheek settled in Obion Co. TN; Johan Adam Sheek remained in NC; and no information is known about Magadalena Sheek and Fridrich Sheek. Johan Adam Sheek and wife Susanna Moulder raised 10 children in NC; all execpt two, Adam Jr. and Mary, lived in the Davie/Yadkin Co. area of NC. Today the 10th generation of Christian Sheek descedants live in Davie County.<P> <HR> <H4>Second Generation</H4> Children of Christian (Schick) Sheek and Rosina ?<BR> Christian (Schick) Sheek Jr. (1756-1829) m.
